It's like Marvel heard the complaints about how hard it is for casual fans to know where to start with Marvel comics and decided to just make every volume a starting place.

Who is this character supposed to be? And why would the Samuel L. Jackson pastiche Nick Fury have her inside a coffin in a warehouse?

That's Star. She's a villain currently merged with the Reality Gem.

Ah, that would explain the Black Cat cover with the infinity gems which are never mentioned or shown anywhere in that issue. As a stand-alone issue it was a rather confusing affair, but the creative team of Black Cat generally delivers so I'll be patient and see where it goes.

Well Vulpes has been writing the Nick Fury backups in the Infinite Destinies annuals that lead into his Black Cat arc. So it's not out of nowhere, he's just been building to it elsewhere.

Soonmot posted:Jr has been the only Nick Fury for like a decade now, I think, you can just say Nick Fury I don't read many Marvel comics other than X-titles and Zdarsky/Ewing books, so I wouldn't know. The last Nick Fury I saw was the classic one about four years ago in Zdarsky's Spider-Man so it made sense to me to make the distinction. But now that I think about it, I remember it was possibly during a time travel story, so uh. Guess classic Nick Fury is long gone now? Speaking of which, still no idea why Jr had this Star lady inside a coffin or what's the deal with her merging with the reality gem. What little there was on the two wikis I visited only mentioned the merging happened "behind the scenes" while she was in prison and there's also no direct correlation to what just happened in Black Cat, as Star had a short miniseries last year where she learned to control the reality gem and that plotline seems to have ended there abruptly (again, from wiki summaries). Is that it or have I missed something?

Hope MacKay can wring a cool story out of this weird status-quo.

The Fury story in Infinite Destinies will wrap up in August, which will explain how Fury got to where we see him in Black Cat #8.

Random Stranger posted:Is it really any more moronic than how Nick Fury got the Watcher position? I assumed that was from the same book, thus the "what the gently caress is site talking about". Different book? When did it happen anyway? Because yes, that is also pretty out there development for the character instead of, I dunno, letting him retire in some island in the Pacific.

Ah, here it is, something called Original Sin by Jason Aaron. Apparently Nick Fury killed the Watcher and was forced into becoming the new Watcher as punishment. Okay. Comic books.

Yeah but it led to The Orb acquiring the Watcher's eyeball and popping up in a bunch of Aaron's books which was awesome.

Heavy Metal posted:Comics sure are cool, 'ey folks? I've been digging into comic podcasts lately, any favorites there? I'm a big fan of the Savage Fincast, I just started listening to it and have been deep diving into their back catalog, it's pretty dope that they've been doing it for close to a decade at this point and keeping good pace with Erik Larsen and his road to Savage Dragon Issue 300. I'm also a big fan of Cartoonist Kayfabe but it's more of a video podcast than an audio one since they do flip throughs of a lot of awesome books. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU0v4IGzj2wK-PmjASkK2Rg And it's not about comics, but Evan Dorkin's Tear Them Apart Podcast is pretty good if you like hearing Evan Dorkin rant and rave about bad movies. https://tearthemapartpodcast.home.blog/

I was looking at Kickstarter and noticed one for a comic called Mary Machinegun. It featured a few pages from the comic to get people interested. Check out these horses.
